https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=770730 Under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, the referral court's inquiry is confined to the prima facie existence of an arbitration agreement, as reinforced by Section 11(6A) and the 2015 amendment. At the appointment stage, the court cannot dissect claims, pre-judge non-arbitrability, or exclude matters said to fall within excepted clauses. Those objections may be raised before the arbitral tribunal, which is competent to decide them in accordance with law. The High Court was therefore not justified in excluding identified claims at the Section 11 stage, and the plea of non-arbitrability was left open for the tribunal. en-us Tue, 13 May 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 16 May 2025 08:40:35 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=770730 Under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, the referral court's inquiry is confined to the prima facie existence of an arbitration agreement, as reinforced by Section 11(6A) and the 2015 amendment.
